Tuition and Fees
Semester financial obligations are expected to be paid in full on or before the opening day of each semester. Individual financial situations can be discussed with the Business Office for consideration or deferred payment arrangements. Tuition and fees must be paid in advance at the Business Office, the First Stop, or by mail on or before the first class session.
Tuition and course fees are payable in U.S. funds by cash, check or MasterCard/Discover/American Express or E-Check.
The financial requirements of the University, charging costs, state and legislative action, and other matters may require an adjustment to these charges and expenses. The University reserves the right to make such adjustments to the estimated charges and expenses as may from time to time be necessary in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, up to the date of final registration for a given academic term. The applicant acknowledges this reservation by the submission of an application for admission or by course registration.

In/Out-of-State Tuition Status
In-state or out-of-state tuition classification is made by the Admissions Office and conveyed at the time the applicant is notified of their acceptance to UMM. The Vice President for Administration and Finance should be notified immediately of any disagreement with the decision, as any appeal or changes cannot be made after September 1 for fall semester and January 1 for spring semester.
Tuition Assistance
The University of Maine at Machias no longer defers payment of tuition charges for students employed by school administrative districts, school unions, or other agencies/companies who reimburse directly to students following their successful completion of an academic session. Students are responsible for paying to UMM the tuition costs at the time of the registration and seeking employer reimbursement throughout the normal school union/district, or agency/company process.
If tuition charges are to be covered by an outside agency or scholarship, other than UMM, and paid directly to UMM, documentation (either an approved purchase order or a memo from the outside agency) must be sent to the UMM Business Office. In the case of military personnel, an approved request for tuition assistance must be furnished to the UMM Business Office.
